Solomon ar gued that the United States su preme coart decision In the Ala bama and California case was controlling- In the Oregon snit since the high court held antl jslcketlnc laws were an Invasion of the right of free speech and a free press. Defense attorney! charged that neither the California nor Ala bama lavs were similar to the ' Oregon aatl-plcketing act' for the reason they were prohibitory. They argued that tinder the Ore gon antl-plcketing law picketing could be practiced only when there was a bona fide labor con troversy between employer and half of his employes. 'The Oregon antl-picketlng law Is a regulatory and not a pro hibitory enactment." Ilampson declared. He said, in his opinion, the people or Oregon had a rea sonable right to enact the law. Section on Farm Crop Criticised Green charged there i no way to determine how many em ployes were antagonistic to an em ployer. He also branded sectolns of the law relating to interfer ence In moTing agricultural pro ducts as vague and meaningless. - A number of other points were stressed by union attorneys. These inclnded: That the act restricts or pro hibits to labor the right to use necessary, .ordinary and conven tional concerted activities In their dealings with employers concern ing an employment contract. That the act violates the funda mental and constitutionally pro tected rights of working people to form, join or conduct labor an iens for their mutual aid and pro tection. That various provisions of the law. violations of which conatltate crime thereunder, are so vague. Indefinite and uncertain aa to meaning, that the things sought to be prohibited are not reason ably susceptible of ascertainment or application. That classifications attempted by the statute la 1U various pro visions are arbitrary and unrea sonable and not founded upon a reasonable or natural basis. That the act deprives the plain tiffs and the people they represent of liberty and property without due process of law, abridges their privileges and Immunities, and de nies to them equal protection of the laws, contrary to the constitu tion. (iesteral Denial la Made by D(faw - Defense attorneys made general denial to many of these conten tions and asserted there was no deprivation of eonstlt atlonal right in th Oregon picketing law. Previous decisions of both the atate and federal courts were cited la support of their conten tions. Chris Boesen made the rebut tgl argument for the AFL.
